It's been a busy few months of travel, but I managed to squeeze in a handful of portrait assignments for the Wall Street Journal. The topics have been varied, but the one thing these shoots had in common was extremely short time to work with the subjects. Recent assignments, seen above, included portraits of Keurig Green Mountain CEO Brian Kelley for a story about a new brewing machine developed by the company, Suffolk Construction Chief Marketing and People Officer Kimberly Steimle Vaughan for a story about gender pay equity, and recent Boston University law school grads Chaloea Williams and Sarah Damerville for a story about big law firms increasing hiring rates.

Thanks as always to Parker and the rest of the team for calling me on these shoots.
